- 20 Years Ago…
A young woman stepped off a bus with a large backpack on her shoulders and an even larger duffel bag in her free hand.
She stood just outside of a half-decent hotel. The kind of place she would have tried to sneak into just two years ago to steal breakfast from.
But she was turning over a new leaf now. And this insanity was her first step to doing so.
Joanne tightened her grip on her bags and entered the hotel.
Near the front desk, her recruiter was sitting at a folding table and smiled at the sight of her.
"Almost thought you wouldn't show up. Thought I would have to find you and drag you out of whatever hidey hole you found to stick your head in."
Joanne put her bags down and picked up a pen to sign her name on the sheet of paper in front of her. "Thought you already had enough recruits to deal with, Major. Doubt you would have the time to come looking for little old me."
"For you? I would have made the time, kid. You still got the thing?"
